Business Ability as Necessary to Success

Business Ability as Necessary to Success
as Literary sagacity-rhe Newsboy.
"Why is journalism not profession?"
was asked.
Because" replied the newspaper man,
success is due, quite as often, to capable
business ability as to the literary sagac-
ity of the newspapers editor" was the re-
ply. "That is not complete answer, l
know; but let me indicate the proportions
that complete explanation would take
The art Of making the news paper COM
prehend, first Of all, success. 1t is the
daily production of something that is to
be sold in open market, amid the fercest
competition known to trade. 1t must be
perfect in all it's parts, (even folded in a
certain shape), at a particular minute
every morning or afternoon.
"The slightest delay is ruinous The
literary branch that supplies the copy
deserves no more credit for the daily sue
cessful achievement of the result than
does the mechanical branch. The con-
positors, pressmen and paper makers are
factors in the general result. If the COM
positOrs strike, the presses break down,
or the supply of white paper runs short,
success will not be attained. And, after
all, suppose the greatest newspaper pro-
prietor in the world has two hundred
thousand copies of his papers printed in
his cellar, but is without the means of
getting them into the hands of people who
want them at q certain hour-are willing
to buy, say at o'clock, what they will
not take as a gift at ten?
"Do you mean to tell me that the news
agent or the newsboy does not belong to
journalism? OF course he does. He is
the Cossack of the newspaper world. He
skirmishes with the great public. Every
body knows the admiration in which the
Cossack is held in Russia; and he of the
Don is especially loved. So, in journal
ism. An earnest, useful fellow is our
Cossack, our cossack of the dawn. You
hate pun? So do I; but don't spare me
by leaving it out of your talk. The
power of the press is recognized
only by old women to-day, and by broken
down preachers and doctors who hang
upon the skirts of the newspaper for the
free passes and luncheons that they can
pick up. The coming journalists do not
believe in it. They pay their way and
print a newspaper to sel."-Lopg Branch

A New Route Contemplated Between
These Points by CaoitaIStS


NEW YORK, March "A nesting of the
Boston Executive Business association was
held Friday night to discuss the question of
q trunk line from Duluth to Boston. The
scheme is being pushed by capitalists of New
York, Detroit, and Chicago. Mr.. b. F.
Smith, of New ork, presented plans of the
new route, and explained the various feat
ures of the scheme A T. Filsbury, repre-
senting the Boston, Hoosac Tunnel & West
ern Railroad, which is an important link in
the consolidated road said he understood the
necessary capital was ready to be used the
moment the charter mentioned above is
granted by the legislature. W. H. Lincoln,
Of the Leland Steamship line, said that while
he did not exactly oppose the scheme, he be-
heved it would not affect New York. There
would be no competition with that city and
rates would remain the same. Mr.. Pills
bury thought the new line would be bene-
fit. Ex-Governor Claflin thought that if an
other line could be opened to the west 1t
should be done. Competition would benefit
the city. After short discu ssion it was
not thought advisable to take any decisive
action in the matter because of the small at.
tendance, but the members were urged to at
tend the hearing before the committee
on railroads, at the state house next Tues
day
